Townsend's superior ace rate and the H2H ace totals push the expected aces over 5.5, though clay conditions lower confidence.
- Townsend averages 4.5 aces per match (ace rate 4.5%), while Bouzkova averages 2.7 (ace rate 2.7%).
- In their H2H, total aces were 13 across 3 matches (4.3 per match), with two matches exceeding 5.5.
